Plot

Francois Girard (Thirty Two Short Stories About Glen Gould) directs this series of vignettes from renaissance Italy thru' the cultural revolution in China to modern day America, all linked by a now fabled red violin. This is a film about obsession and love spanning continents, cultures and centuries. 'The Red Violin' is a beautiful and unusual film..
